Tuition and Program fees

Tuition and program fees cover all expenses except piano instruction, lunches, health screening, uniforms, After Care, and other optional activities for which the school incurs an additional expense.

Tuition and program fees may be paid annually, semi-annually, or in ten monthly installments through the FACTS program.

Optional Fees

The standard music program at The Girls’ School is our Strings program. Students who opt to study piano instead of strings are assessed a piano fee to help defray the cost of a piano teacher and the small class size required for group piano lessons. Piano lessons are determined by lottery; only students who have returned their contracts by the due date (March 9) will be considered. Students who have studied piano previously may be given preference. Piano charges are billed according to the tuition payment plan selected on the contract.

These fees are not included in the Tuition and Program Fees and are billed as used:
